Kiyosaki Urges Bitcoin Buying as Yen Carry Trade Panic Roils Markets
Robert Kiyosaki on Nov. 29 urged investors to buy Bitcoin amid mounting stress from a fast-unwinding yen carry trade that has rekindled fears of a broad market downturn. Kiyosaki framed a rotation into BTC as a way to prepare for turbulence, saying the crypto could remain resilient as macro volatility increases and risk assets reprice.
The yen carry unwind has pushed volatility across FX and equity markets and raised concerns about liquidity and contagion; that environment is prompting some retail and macro traders to hunt for alternative stores of value. Analysts note Kiyosaki’s influence with retail audiences but caution that Bitcoin itself can be highly volatile and may not be a guaranteed safe haven in a systemic sell-off — his warning underscores growing macro risks and why market participants are watching FX flows alongside crypto sentiment.
